Other Events and reports Genealogy Seminar - June 27th & 28th June 09 Kazzie Traditions - Feature Article Calendar Competition and Application Form The inaugural Kazzie Art Exhibition - 2009 As scheduled on the 2009 Calendar we orgainsed our first Kazzie Art Exhibition on Sunday 15th March held at the Kazzie Clubrooms. Over 130 attendees filled the club rooms to the brim whilst they viewed some exceptional paintings and photography. Thanks to the support of the Kastellorizian members, their families and non-Kastellorizian's it was a great day all round. For those members and their families that didn't attend you missed out on a well presented exhibition featuring artwork by Jack Condous and Beryl Georgakopoulos. The nature of the event and attendance is a good reason for members to encourage their families to more actively participate. The Committee is endeavouring to generate increased interest by arranging such events as we see participation by today's youth as essential. Photographs and Giclee Prints that Jack displayed of Kastellorizo were brilliant. Beryl's exhibition of Water Colours & Acrylics were fantastic. A very professional Master of Ceremonies was Mia Greves (Channel 7 Journalist) who gave us a Paintings and prints were also available for sale and you can refer to catalogues at the 2009 Calendar section. If you would like more information or are intersted in purchasing some artwork then please email us at info@katellorizo.com.au Doesn't sound like a bad day out does it??
